From your last post it seems she has a live pup. Is it the first one that you thought was dead or is this a 2nd pup. If so, where is the dead one?
I don't know what your relationship with your dog was before now, but it sounds to me like she A. - is very nervous (and in pain or discomfort from labor) which would attribute to her aggressiveness towards you, and/or B. - she senses your nervousness which in turn causes her to be more nervous than she is, also causing aggression. You need to keep your cool and go in there and STAY with her; even if you just sit there and watch. Slowly, when you are calm, inch your way closer to her as you gain her trust. Look at her and her pups to make sure she and they are okay.
IF you see she is still having trouble, please don't call, just take her and whatever pups she has to the nearest ER vet. One seemingly small problem can get BIG very quickly and you could lose her and pups. |
No one is lecturing....trying to get the same message across that you are. Sometimes a horror story or two might help. This pup is in danger if she does not watch closely and/or get her to a vet.
